Add coffee grounds to your garden!
It's a great way to enrich the soil with nitrogen, which encourages microorganism growth. Another benefit, it deters snails and slugs that may cause damage to your plants. The grounds also attract earthworms, which is really beneficial for the soil. If you don't drink coffee, visit your local coffee shop. Most have a "Grounds For Your Garden" program.

We replaced these rotted 2x6 boards with some cobblestones to give this gravel walkway a more natural feel. It’s amazing how a small enhancement can make a huge difference! You just went into the garage to dig out your outdoor furniture cushions and they have those nasty black mildew spots and blotches. You're thinking to yourself, should I try to clean these or run to the store and spend $100 to $250 on replacements? If we told you wouldn't need special cleaners or have to scrub for hours, and your old cushions would look like new again, would you believe us? The solution... a pressure washer. If you don't have one borrow a friends and ask them how to use it, it's really easy. If borrowing isn't an option, you could always rent one.
You'll be amazed at how well it works and feel good knowing, you're not using harsh chemicals, saving time, and the money you will save! Did you know our area received over 40 inches of snow in just the last two storms alone?
Lowe's Landscaping Services, LLC has worked hard keeping our commercial lots and residential driveways open during these back-to-back Nor’easters and continue to stand ready should we have another. Once the snow melts, we will be working diligently to clean-up all the damaged trees and downed limbs that came down due to the heavy wet snow. If you have storm damage and/or need early spring clean-up please contact us today! Last season clients contacted us for an estimate of a new walkway install. The only way they could get from their back yard patio to the front lawn was through their garden. After a brief consultation and free estimate, we went straight to work! We designed a curved pea stone walkway and drew an outline where it would go so the client would have a pretty good idea of what it would look like before construction began. After the client approved the design and location we excavated 6 inches of topsoil for the 50 foot long, 3 foot wide walkway.
Landscape fabric was laid down on the subsoil to inhibit weed growth. Six inches of slate grey 3/8” pea stone was then spread in place and black metal edging was installed along the walkway to hold the stone in place. Lastly, the garden bed around the walkway was finished off with a fresh layer of hemlock mulch. The area was then ready for new plantings! |
